Howdy!
I'm James from Bakersfield California. Home of the "Bakersfield Sound" of country music.
Buck Owens & Dwight Yoakam - "Streets of Bakersfield".
My friend & roommate is the grillmaster of the two of us. I'm more of an Instant Pot person.
But our summers are H.O.T. HOT! and don't want to be out in the backyard sweating to cook.
We occasionally use an old Weber kettle I found at a Yard Sale, he foils up the kettle & occasionally grills.
We live two minutes away from the best Meat Market / Butcher in town. Wood-Dale Market. Open since 1955.
So we haven't been barbequing to our potential.
A month or so ago, I was watching YouTube videos of two brothers who run a butcher shop in Ohio take apart Beef, Pork, etc.
Somehow the algorithm wanted to show me something else and led me to the Slow 'N Sear. I got excited.
A friend gifted each of us $50 & we pooled the money plus more for the Deluxe Gold Bundle.
Then I noticed there was extra money in my account. Covid relief funds YAY! So I spent another $300 for their Kettle Grill to put the SnS in. Then we went a little crazy. Smoke X4 thermometer with remote unit, Billows blower to connect to it.
Home Depot trip for Starter Chimney, grill brush, starter, lighter. I think we're almost a grand in, and haven't cooked anything yet.
Then I find this website. "Here we go again..." I put the SNS grill together, while listening to the Audiobook version of Meathead's excellent book. Both of us are learning so much, and we're excited to have friends over again to entertain.
We got our shots, and are ready to get back into this world. My friend wants to start with something easy. A chicken breast.
I say, "Start off with a bang! Last-Meal Ribs or Bust!" I will eventually get those ribs, just gotta be patient.
I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I'm watching & hopefully learning.
